Only If You Dare (Falling for a Rose Book 3) by Stephanie Nicole Norris

Life at the Houston Report for Investigative Journalist Desiree Stevens is no longer a fulfilling one. She’s contemplating moving back to Chicago where her family resides, but Desiree can’t deny that returning to her hometown for the sake of employment is her only reason. Just a few weeks prior, Desiree had the pleasure of meeting philanthropist Julian Alexander Rose, awkwardly enough, at the hospital. And since the strange encounter, getting Julian off her mind has been Desiree’s biggest failure.

International male model, Julian Alexander Rose is in the highlight of his career. As the owner of A Few Good Men Male Modeling Agency, Julian has his hands full with day-to-day business activities. He’s only in Chicago for a short while upon meeting Desiree Steven’s, and the unbridled hunger that overtakes Julian is soul-stirring at least. From the moment their worlds collide, Julian’s certain there’s more to their supernatural connection. Being a man unwilling to let Desiree get away, Julian formulates the perfect plan that lands them alone together, and his next move may just bring him to his knees.

The Falling for a Rose series follows each member of the Rose family as they explore this thing called love. However, each book is just as enjoyable if read as a standalone as it is if read in the series order.

Damon Patterson is craving a new start and the opening of his pastry stop is just the beginning. He’s got something to prove and is hyper focused on being professionally successful. Damon isn’t seeking long term entanglements, which works perfectly for Patricia Payne—a single mother who is on the hunt for a man with a particular set of skills. A chance meeting puts them in each others orbit and they’re immediately attracted.

Both Damon and Patricia come with a little bit of baggage, but that is irrelevant as they become friends with benefits. What began as carnal needs being met eventually evolves into deeper feelings, which neither Damon nor Patricia are equipped to handle. Then Came You follows these two individuals as they journey through passion-tinged attraction, fighting to keep it casual, but eventually succumbing to that four letter word…

Pulled by an explicable, undeniable thread of… something… Nick and Noah find themselves keen on becoming more. Hashtags and flights and late-night text sessions lead to a connection neither has experienced, or expected. Beyond the shiny veneer of social media, further than the shallow depths of a good selfie, down to the real, for real stuff that relationships are made of… can Nick and Noah actually reach their prematurely awarded goal?

No one belongs to anyone.
We claim rights second; belonging to God first.
We are born and die as individuals, and we live as such, while keeping the feelings of those we love in mind.
Often, we keep them in mind…even more than our own.

Old love. New lust. Treasured friendships. Temptation. Escapes from dulled reality. Inevitable destruction.
An anticipated reunion brings six preoccupied souls together and stirs the pot brewing with it all.

Ray, Dice, and Justice have come to age, forming an impermeable bond that has stood the storms of time and hardship.
When the trio unites after substantial time has passed, they find all rough waters aren’t left behind for the brotherhood.

Regina’s life turned out better than what was foreseen for a teenaged, single-mother.
Yet when her past is forced into her present, so are the steamy and sentimental memories.

Aleeya’s chasing dreams and thrills, and there isn’t much that can seize the free-spirit;
besides an older, already-claimed man who invites her into his dark, enchanting world.

And there’s Yael – the broken masterpiece – held together by the glue of financial stability, family structure and the American dream.
But when she meets someone who sees her well enough to spot the cracks, will she allow herself to be marveled at his mercy?

Fall into a world of tests on the morals of love and commitment.
What makes a person dishonest? Who governs the limits of loyalty?
Are we faithful or unfaithful people or do we have faithful and unfaithful moments?
Are there exceptions to the rules; cycles in a relationship that allow for forgivable circumstances?

Are there Seasons of Fidelity?

Disclaimer: This is Season One of a series. Part one ends with suspense and anticipation.

You can find out a lot about yourself during the course of a single day.

Synopsis…

Corey Grand is a self-made millionaire. He owns a successful security company, has a beautiful wife (Rene), an adorable son (CJ), and all of the trappings of success. But there is one thing that Corey Grand doesn’t possess – the ability to be faithful to his wife.

For years, Rene has tolerated Corey’s cheating ways, but after catching him having another affair she threatens to divorce him, claim half of his financial empire, and take their child back to her hometown in California. Corey begs Rene to give him another chance and offers to give her anything she wants if she stays. After much deliberation, Rene decides to take him up on his offer. She agrees to stay with Corey, but only if he grants her one wish – she wants to have a threesome…and that’s when the REAL drama begins.

Will Corey grant Rene the wish that will keep his family together and his empire in tact? If he does, will it be enough to make Rene happy…or will it be the precursor to a level of drama that will prove to be too much even for him?

There is no escaping the inevitable. Age comes for us all. In the shape of fruition or the form of darkness. Shala woke up to darkness. Thirty years came too fast, she wasn’t ready, she wasn’t prepared, and life was winning. She didn’t want to celebrate or party but everyone around her wanted to revel. Joy surrounded her but she saw thirty as the murderer of her youth. It was hard to accept.
The eve of her thirtieth year was a blur, but a beautiful distortion that eventually consumed her reality. It wasn’t the birthday that had her feeling good, it was the stranger. And that beautiful stranger was more important than the party. More important than the stresses of her evil neighbors and their wicked pets. More important than thirty. But was this strange love strong enough to forget about the missing boyfriend?
